"The scholars," lie continued, "found
'-everything In readiness when they
Reached the schools. Lessons were
'Tnarked out for them, and recitations
Wore .in order "after the first period."
f" It was a sort of a record day, and
"Superintendent Clnrr expressed himself
-as well satisfied nnd pldnsed with the
"teachers' "afterilion and the exceptional
TjroRress of the re-opcnlng.
The attendance compares favorably
With the fait term of last year. In
itlie Central school building, there are
more scholars than Inst year; In the
"outside schools, tho enrollment Is about
tho eamo ng. last year. There Is a
jmortago In the number or students In
' the High school, ns compared with Inst
year, but It Is hoped that after a couple
;,pi weeks the deficiency, will have been
'."made up.
,The Central school building has been
embellished and brightened by decora-
tora and presents a refreshed nppear
Unco after tho past year. As sug
gested to tho students by Prof. W. D.
Bryden, tho principal, In his opening
talk to the students, they ought surely
to work with Increased surroundings.
The appreciable Improvement com
prehends the main halls, three class
'rooms and tho assembly room on tho
top floor. The halls have been papered
'a dellcato.plnk, with gold border, no
ticeably brighter than heretofore. The
', rooms have been tinted an acceptable
' green, a color that Is beneficially rest
ful td the eye, particularly after the
fatigue that follows constant applica
tion to the varied type of text books.
The ceilings are a cream color. In
three rooms In the older part of the
building, steel panel ceilings add to
the ornamentation.
In tho assembly room, however, the
greatest Improvement has been made.
The bare walls have been transformed
by tho same tinting as In the class
rooms, and tho celling similarly treat
ed, as In these rooms. The aisles, and
across the front of the room, are cov
ered with a matting, neat In pattern,
and serviceable in make-up. The
thoughtfulness nnd application of the
teachers of tho High school corps have
provided neat lace curtains which re
move the windows of the bareness.

American history; another

Civil war on the Union side, Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan. A new piano
cover has been provided, and a new
chair for Prof. Bryden. The attention
which has been -given the details of
the decorating of tho room has pro
duced a most pleasing effect, one that
strikingly impresses,, the visitor of oth
er years. No pleas'anter surroundings
could be hoped by the' students.
Two new teachers are on this year's
corps. Miss Nellie Killeen takes the
place made vacant by the resignation
of Mrs. P. F, Hughes, nee Miss Ella
Boland. Miss Killeen teaches in the
eighth grade. Miss Mabel Edwards
takes a room !n No. S school. Miss
Alice Rashleigh, who was advanced
from No. 8, assumed her duties yester
day as principal of No. 2 school, as
successor of Miss Bryden.
As Indicated in Superintendent Garr's
i annual report, a vigorous enforcement
'. of tho compulsory education act will
:, occur. Truants tvero sought after last
C, year, and thcro will be even a more

GOING TO COLLEGE.
Walter Lofttts, the Crescents' Star
Catcher, to Enter Holy Cross.
The admirers and supporters of tho
Crescents base bull team which com
prehends over half the population of
Carbondale will regret to learn of the
contemplated departure of Walter Lof
tus, the star catcher, for Holy Cross
college, Worcester. Mass.
Mr. Loftus will leave Monday morn
ing for Worcester, In company with
Walter Qutnn, whoso Intention of
taking a collegiate course has already
been published. The course compre
hends live years. Mr. Loftus' popular
standing has by no means been won
because of his extraordinarily flno work
ns the catcher ot tho Crescents: ills
gentlemnnly deportment, his warm na
ture and Ills splendid personality have
won lasting friendships in nil his re
lations. He is a graduate of the Car
bondale High school, a member ot the
class of '02, and can be expected to dis
tinguish himself among his fellow-students.
Until recently he did newspaper
work for the Carbondale departments
of the Truth and Republican. His
withdrawal from buso ball takes away
ono of the best catchers who ever
played in tho Lackawanna valley. His
former newspaper workers, his admir
ers among tho fans and his wide circle
of friends all unite in wishing him the
measure of success that ho deserves.
MR. COLLINS' PLACE.
Teacher's Vacancy in High School to
Be Acted Upon.
Though no formal resignation has
been received from him, it is the opin
ion of the directors of the Carbondale
High school that Frank Collins, teacher
in the central school building, will not
teach this year; and It Is likely that at
the next meeting of the board the elec
tion of his successor will be taken up.
As is generally known, Mr. Collins
has in mind entering the University of
Pennsylvania to take the medical
course. It has been learned from the
public prints that ho is a candidate for
a place on the University of Pennsyl
vania foot ball team, and is away for
this purpose. His absence and his pub
lished intention are interpreted to
mean that he will not teach this year,
and though he has not formally noti
fied the school board, It has indirectly
been learned from him that ho will
hardly resume his position as teacher.
At any rate, the board will likely take
up the election of his successor) for
which there will be a sharp contest.

Nothing to Arbitrate,
The Philadelphia Inquirer has put out
several cartoons, representing the coal
operators as standing upon their dig
.itfcmHvjft-iatet sfjt- .J.
nity, white tho miners a to asking for
arbitration. The companies have really
nothing to arbitrate. They say they
will hear the grievances ot their men
when they go to work, but they have
no men nt work, nnd consequently have
no one to dcnl with. They want It to
be known that they Intqnd to manage
their own business, and Will not be dic
tated to by those not in their employ.
From this stand no arbitrator would
ask, them to retreat, It Is not the ques
tion of wages, so much us It Is the de
mand that the union oftlclnls shall be
allowed to dictate the terms upon
which the labor shnll bo performed.
SWIPED A POCKETBOOK.

chnrge ot swiping a pocketbook belong
ing to Patrick F. Mannlon, Mannlon
and Lynch were nfter drinking some
soda water or ginger ale on Labor day.
Mannlon took what change wns coming
to him and carefully placed it In his
pocketbook. Then there was something
doing. Lynch made a Crescent infield
grab ot the dough pouch and lit off on
a horseless carriage.
It didn't take Mannlon long to locate
Alderman Fred Thomas and cause a
warrant to bo sworn out for the fleeing
man. Lynch, when taken in, admitted
his guilt.
"Three hundred dollars ball," quoth
the alderman.
"No ball," replied Lynch.
"Then jail," said the alderman, And
Jail it was.
FINNEGAN HAS THE JOB.

day, Patrick Flnncgan has been ap
pointed janitor of No. 3 school, pend
ing the dendlock over the position,
which ensued when at Saturday night's
meeting an effort wns made to decide
on a choice for the position. When the
election failed, n resolution was adopt
ed giving President Kerwln authority
to appoint a janitor until such time as
the deadlock be broken. Flnnegan is
the man that President Kerwln favored
and naturally his appointment followed.
He began his duties yesterday and will
possibly be undisturbed for the year,
as there doesn't appear to be any pos
sibility of a break in the deadlock.
The other seeker for the position was
Bryan O'Byrne. The vacancy was
caused by the resignation of Henry
Kennedy.

INFORMATION.
During the lust ten years the Bnldwln
Locomotive works have sent to Japan ""
locomotives; to China, lit; Ru.'.Mu, :;i!l;
England, 7l', ami to other countries, I.UVt.
The Rogers locomotive works hiivu unlit
SSI locomotives for foreign ronntilos, in
cliKllns" Canada, .Mexico, South America,
Panama, Costa Ulcn, ('alia, Jamaica.
Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Japan'
and Chlnu. The American Locomotive
company lias built locomotives fur for
eign countries, as follow.": 'X for Japan,
17 for England, 7 for China, ."il for Russia
and tevcral luuulrcd for tlio Uiltish colo
nics, Mexico nd Central aud South
America.
Porto Rico seems to bo doing very well
judging from the statistics given out In
an interview by Ciovcrnnr Hunt recently.
The shipments from the Island to tho
United Scales during tlio last liheal year
wero valued at $S','J97, I'.'i.i. which represent
ed an increase of -JS.ij per cent, as com
pared with tho year before. Of this total
?.',S!W,037 was credited to sugar. Cigars
and cigarettes accounted for $1 ,.'i70,!) JS.
Tho exnoits from tho Island to foreign
countries woro valued at $ l.iiX'.dO.'i, which
represented an lucreatio of 51.7 per cent,
over tho preceding year. Tho largest
Item In these exports was coffee, valued
at $3,103,01:!, Curiously enough, shipments
of that product form tne smallest Item In
the account with tlio United States, where
its value Istglvun as Si'IUSn", While, as
will lie seen, tho shipment of Porto Rico
to foreign countries nro but little nmro
than half of those to tlio 1'nlted States,
there Is a notable excess of foreign ves
sels entering and cleaihig at the porU of
the Island over ihoro of the United. Stales.
This, however, Is not a feature peculiar
to our tiado with Porto Rico.
Tho sugar, crop nf tlio world now aggre
gates about lM.OH.ODQ tons, tho equivalent
of L'O.OMMWIOO pounds. For the total esti
mated population, 2,M.iy).n), tills would
lie eight pound. per capita. Tho annual
Increase in population of the world Is
about ono to llfty, or 2 per cent., a total
or 50.w,H0. this at the rate of l.iino.imo for
tho United States. At eight pounds per
capita consumption, the world's average,
this would require an incre.iso annually
of u bout L'W.iOn tons. An lucreuro In con
sumption of one pound per capita, only,
requires S."M),im pounds, oiiial to l.-TiO,-ikw
tons. Within the past ten years tho
Increaeo has been fully three pounds per
capita, requiring an Increased production
of 7,M0,(W),UW pounds, or 3,750,1X10 tons.
Owing to bolter shipping facilities be
tween .Manll.t and Loudon tlmn between
.Manila and New York, a considerable
portion of tho hemp produced In tho Phil
ippines Is Hist "eat to London ami then
re-shlpped to tho United Stales.

A Four-Year's College Course Is Not
Always Necessary.
Professor Henry Van Dyke, in Septem
ber Success.
There Is a general Impression that, un
lers a would-bo student spends four years
In' college, nnd Is graduated with a de
gree, Ills education Is incomplete. This is
a narrow view of the matter. Of course
It is best, as a rule, for a boy or girl '"to.
lake tho complete general course, ospfcj
chilly If It is undecided as to what onels;
future work Is to be. Many n youns
man, however, has to begin work as a
stenographer or ns a cleric nt an oarly
age. Ho Is not content in occupying- a
humble position all his life, and Is ambi
tious, perhaps, to enter ono of the pro
fessions, .Most of his friends wl" tell
him that It Is impossible, unless ho gnea
through college. Ho does not feel that
he can afford to spend four years In do
ing that, and gives up In despair; when,
if ho only knew It, a two-year special
course might furnish him with Just' tho
equipment ho needs. Jt Is even posstb,lo
to taI:o a special courso and contlmij
working at the same time. Thoiv are
hoveral young men at Princeton who nr'
working their way through nnd fittltvj
themselves to occupy high places in th.o
world. They know what they want to
follow as professions, and in two years
they are able to lit themselves fur their
chosen work.
As an Instance, I might mention n
young reporter who camo to mo tho other
tiny. For four years, slnco ho wns seven
teen, ho had been employed on ono of the
New York dally newspapers. Ho had be
come dissatisfied with tho hack wort
which was given him to do, and deter
mined to prepare for something better.
Ho camo to mo to Ibid out bow long It
would requlro to tako a courso In litera
ture and languages which would bcnPtlt
him, I showed him that In two years ho
could got tho best of the collcgo cnttrsa
along thoso lines, and ho Is going to" be
gin work next fall, Ho Is earning a good
living at present, but ho Is willing to
earn less for two years that ho may earn
mnro In tho future. It Is nn Inspiration
for him to tako theso studies while he is
still young, and these two years of study
will bo tho best Investment ho could
mako of his tlmo and tho money he has
saved. Ho will havo nn opportunity to
do sumo writing wlillo nt college, and
possibly ho will bo able to pay his way
as ho goes. Ho would certainly bo un
willing to spend four yoais in school, and
perhaps It Is ns well that ho doesn't tnk
n lot of subjects which will bo of no to
special scrvlco to him In his chosen Una
of work.
Bryan Tolls This Story Himself.
Here Is a story which the Nnshvilla
American wiys AVIIUant Jennings Bryan
tells on himself;
Ho said that not long ago In a western
town ho had occasion to get shaved. ,Thei
barber, a colored man, felt highly com
plimented by ho opportunity of hhavhu,'
a man who hud been n candidate for tho
presidency, nnd when the operation Was
over Mr, liryau gavo him a silver dollar,
Somo weeks aftorwnrd, traveling 'that
way, ho met an old friend in tlio sama
town, who told him ho hud got the bar
ber In trouble. ,
"How's that?" sold Mr, Bryan.
"Why, ho has been up herons tho .Bar
bers' union, had charges proferr'ei
iigaiust him, and was then put on trial
for shaving you."
"I don't iindeistand thnt," replied Mr.
Bryan. "I paid all right."
"O, yes! You paid nil right, but .the
other barbers said that he was cuttltu
under, nnd bhould have charged $S for
shaving a dead man."
